"The Golden Era of Innovation"

Freelance Animation (2014)

Artwork created for local freelance client, to be used as a supporting asset in a corresponding lecture pitch deck.

The core concept revolves around the idea of using modern technology to break down language and cultural barriers to help facilitate better international communication, trade, and all around innovation.

This project was created with hand-drawn illustrated elements, modified in Adobe Photoshop, and assembled into the final animation in AfterEffects.
